Quarterbacks always take center stage as some teams set their franchise up for years to come, while others make mistakes that are difficult to bounce back from in the immediate future.

There was no better example of that in recent years than the 2017 draft when the Chicago Bears thought they found their franchise quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky and traded up to select him with the No. 2 pick. Meanwhile, the Chiefs secured their future with Patrick Mahomes at No. 10, and the Houston Texans did the same with Deshaun Watson at No. 12.

The prediction here is that four teams will try to find their Mahomes and use first-round picks on signal-callers this year.

Burrow is the obvious selection at No. 1. He is coming off a magical college football season where he led the LSU Tigers to the national title and won the Heisman Trophy behind a stunning 60 touchdown passes. The Bengals also need long-term security at the position and will not hesitate to take him.

Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa may have been in the discussion for the No. 1 pick alongside Burrow if he didn't suffer a serious hip injury this past season.

Look for the Miami Dolphins to jump at the chance to finally establish some long-term stability at the position, something they have been searching for since the Dan Marino era. Ryan Tannehill was the closest they came, but he never won a single playoff game in Miami.

Things become more uncertain after Burrow and Tagovailoa, but Oregon's Justin Herbert seized his opportunity during the Senior Bowl and is now a legitimate possibility in the top 10.

"Justin solidified who he is, and now no one can argue if he goes top five," one scout told Peter King of NBC Sports after the signal-caller was named the game's MVP even though his South team lost 34-17 to the North team.

Herbert is a household name among college football fans after he led Oregon to the Pac-12 title and a Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin in his final season with the Ducks, but someone who is slightly more under the radar will round out the group of first-round quarterbacks.

Look for the New England Patriots to take Utah State's Jordan Love, who threw for more than 3,400 yards in each of his final two seasons and was one of Bleacher Report's Matt Miller's "winners" at the Senior Bowl.

"In Mobile, Love showed off an arm talent that will have coaches drooling," Miller wrote. "He also fits what teams want with his above-average mobility and enormous potential to improve once he's in an offensive system with a better surrounding cast. Scouts believe Love's game is only going to get better."

Whether Tom Brady comes back to the Patriots in 2020 or not, he will be 43 years old throughout the upcoming season. They need a long-term answer at the position and will take the 21-year-old Love with the idea he can be just that.
